Missing Google Play Service and Play Store on your Honor 9X smartphone? Need not worry! Here we have a detailed tutorial to download and install the Google Play Store on Honor 9X.
Since the US government imposed a trade ban on Huawei, none of the latest Huawei and Honor devices ships with Google Play Store and Play Service. Huawei Mate 30 Pro, Honor 9X Pro, Honor 9X are the few models launching without Google Apps.
Instead of Google Apps, Huawei and Honor devices comes with its own set of services like the Huawei Mobile Services and Huawei App Gallery. However, this App Gallery lacks many popular applications (Google Apps) thereby becoming a reason for Huawei fans not purchasing smartphones. This will be a huge drawback for Huawei which is well-known for producing camera-centric and high-performance smartphones.
